The Best Nursing Home Communities in Escambia County, FL

"my wife was here over 3 months .She has nothing but praise for whole staff nurses, aides, pt and ot personal,and kitchen staff. the food is great put weight on my wife witch she needed. ITS A GREAT GREAT PLACE!!!"

"My mom needs skilled nursing so she went to Specialty Health and Rehabilitation Center. They're a very fine group and a loving group, they're very caring. She's done well from the time that she's been there. We chose it because it was available and had an opening, and they're top of the line. They've been very good to her, very helpful, very personable, and up to us, and kept us informed. That means a lot. Just in her reaction, she likes the food, so that's OK with me. They offer quite a bit of activities, but she can't participate yet as much as she would like to or could. They help each one with their individual lives and work with each person. Their facilities are clean, their beds are comfortable, and the place is kept clean. They're attentive."

"This, like any other large scale facility has issues that can be improved upon. But overall this is a great place to live. The staff is very attentive to the recovery and condition of each individual needs. The staff respects resident privacy and life choices., example sexual orientation. The administrator cares about the residents welfare and happiness greatly. the rooms are clean but need some minor repairs such as the window blinds."

"The staff at Arcadia provided excellent care to my family member. The nurses and CNAs were always attentive and compassionate. I could not have picked a better place in my family's time of need. "

"Azalea Trace is a top of the line CONTINUAL CARE facility ... very professionally managed ... excellent residences, food, and activities ... a real emphasis on physical and mental well-being ... we LOVE living here"

"I was a resident of Coral Bay at Pensacola for about four months. The nurse practitioners were always on staff. The CNAs went above what they do. The therapists were excellent. They not only help you, they explain why they were doing what they were doing. It's extremely clean. It's a large base. It has 200 residents or close. So, I highly recommend it. They have arts and crafts. They have movie nights. They have church services. They have a library. They had somebody come in who did nails and cut hair. There were bingo games, and there was always something going on."

"The rooms are private and spacious. Mom enjoyed the food, especially ice cream in the afternoon. Mom was being treated for a wound. DeLuna wound care team was excellent. Needing some financial assistance, Allison worked tirelessly to help us find assistance. Visited mom daily, if a staff member wasn’t in the room when arriving, they would pop in to check on her. Encouraged her to eat in the dining area for some companionship and just not stay in her room all day. Hopefully mom will not have another need for a rehab, but if she does, this is the place I feel comfortable for her to be."

"I've been living at Bay Breeze Senior Living and Rehabilitation Center for a while now. This place is fabulous. I get excellent care, and the food is very good. They're always there for me. I can't say enough about Bay Breeze. I think people ought to know that this is an excellent place. The staff is excellent. They are kind, considerate, and caring. They do have activities for people who want to go."

"This is a very dirty facility. There were cockroaches everywhere in my father-in-law's room. There were boxes of another previous patient's possessions stacked in the room. When he brought to the facility in the evening they left him in his street clothes and put him to bed. He was still in his street clothes when my mother-in-law visited him mid day. She was so distraught and upset at the condition of the facility an lack of proper care in just over 12 hours that she called us to help her get him out and bring him home. They also gave him fruit juice to drink when he is diabetic. "

"The Santa Rosa Health and Rehab Center is very nice. I would recommend it to anyone looking for quality senior care in a convenient location.  When I toured the facility in Dec 2011, the first thing I noticed was the grounds. The lawn is well manicured and the simple landscaping  appropriate. Upon entering the facility, the lobby was clean and had no foul odors. Two residents standing at the nurse's station waved to me. They appeared well groomed and were being attended by one of the CNAs.  After a short wait, one of the nurses kindly directed me to the guest services areas. The tour started in the residents' room which were a little small but nice and had no showers in the bathroom, just a sink and toilet. Most all rooms accommodate two residents with the exception of the "suite" rooms. They were single rooms with private showers.  The communal showers were probably the worst part of the tour. They were dark and had an unpleasant odor. The staff told me they were planning to renovate/update them very soon.  The common areas were pretty and full of residents. A local church was preparing to sing. I was told that they have bingo and other group activities. A hairdresser comes in every Thursday.  They also provide weekend outings, a fishing trip was planned that day. The dining areas was nice but the food looked just okay, a little bland. Overall, I was pleased with the tour. The staff was nice, appeared to enjoy working there, and interacted well with the residents. The residents seemed content and safe.  "

"My mother is getting ready to be placed into Golden Living Center Foley. It is the closest one to us that we were recommended for. The staff seemed to be really nice and helpful. They have an exercise room, and then they have little entertainment areas. They also have their own van. "

"As a patient in the rehab unit (skilled nursing, memory care) my Dad was treated with the utmost kindness and care. The facility is not new and fancy, but the workers are attentive and helpful. We felt confident that our Dad was in a safe and caring environment. They often went out if their way to meet his needs with compassion. "
